#1 Since Chad is a former French colony, is a surrender in the offing?

#2 Particularly since Sudan is four times the size of Chad.

#3 Don't sell Chad short. They put a hurtin' on Qadaffi's Libia back in the late 1970's, early 1980's. They aren't ANYTHING like the French. Sudan has done a no-no, and they're going to pay for it. Virtually every Chadian citizen can shoot straight, including using Stinger and recoilless weapons. Really, Khartoum needs a hit from a massive meteorite, right in the bend of the Nile. It'd make a nice lake.

#6 I agree with OP on this one. The Kartoum gov has stepped on it big. kartoum can kill all the christians in their country and all the world does is complain, but let them raid Chad and Chad attacks! Nothing against Chad, I like their attitude, but for years christians have been systematically murdered and raped in the Sudan by the Kartoum soldiers. The world has just stood by watching, and bitching a little. I would love to deploy to Sudan and take that place down!

#7 I'll take that SW - "Chad's" are often adverse to violence due to their *ahem* alternate lifestyles
